Boston Borough Council is to become the third authority in a partnership for back office shared services.
Earlier this week its councillors approved the proposal for it become a shareholder in Public Sector Partnership Services (PSPS) with East Lindsey and South Holland District Councils.
The partnership provides IT, HR, finance, customer contact and revenues and benefits services.
Boston predicted that the move will provide savings of £1.8 million over the next 10 years – highlighting IT systems as one of the areas – and support its transformation programme.
Subject to final due diligence, all of the council’s staff working in the services will transfer to the partnership on 1 April.
